This concert program presents music composed by the inspiration, Duke Ellington, and the inspired– a tribute to the recently departed James Jabbo Ware (1942-2022). Ellington’s impact and influence on Jazz is so monumental that his music and the bands that played it infused an entire century with excitement and the creative germ. James Jabbo Ware was a modern jazz composer and band leader who was infected by love of this cultural tradition at a young age even as “Big Bands” were said to be dying out. Join us as we honor their brilliance and dedication to the craft on May 25th. Tickets are $20 at the door.
